I just broke my copper Ping Eye 2 irons (red dot) out of my closet this weekend to show a fellow golf nut. they brought back a lot of memories and they may be the best irons ever made.

I soaked them in coke for about 30 minutes and they looked like a shinny new penny, then I put them back in the hall closet of fame. (i was tempted to go out and hit a few balls with them).

Is this legal? I have herd of using Vaseline on a driver to decrease the spin I wonder if wd40 would do the same thing and if it is legal?

No, it's not legal.

Thanks. Thats what my wedge looks like but it dosnt have the rust. Mine looks like a black nickel but every couple days rust comes up and I just rub it off. I was really wondering how to prevent the rust to come back.

I initially removed the finish about a year ago with hopes that it would rust sooner. However, it just doesn't seem to rust and only developed a few rust spots over the year. I don't think the weather here is humid enough.

Does coke prevent rust to come back?

In my case, it got rid of all the rust and no new rust has really come back. You have to make sure you keep it dry though.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂
